My Banshee 2.2.0 player freezes everytime soon after I launch it. It just hangs for some seconds and then starts working again, however it's pretty annoying. I tried this solution but it didn't worked. Here is the banshee --debug log (some strings are in Italian, sorry for that):

Possibly bug #863249. In any case, this is more a bug report than a question. – Jacob Johan Edwards Oct 26 '11 at 0:00
This question should instead be filed as a bug report, thanks! Instructions here. – Jacob Johan Edwards Feb 1 '12 at 17:06

I don't know if you can call this a solution but on my system banshee hangs unless I have an active Internet connection. More of a band-aid than a solution.

Thank you for your kind answer. Unfortunately, my Banshee hangs with active connection, too. The bug report #863249 is not very helpful, for now, since no solution had been found yet. – The_Prat Nov 6 '11 at 13:35
